OIL-TRANSFER DEVICE.

T 0 all, -wzom it 772,013/ concern.:

Be it known that I, ALBERT D. STERN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Oil-Transfer Device, of which-the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a device for transferring or distributing oil from a storage tank to a supply tank of an automobile or other vehicle, the same embodying an air chamber member, means for supplying air under pressure to the latter, an oil discharge pipe adapted to pass through said chamber into said tank and permit'the air under pressure to enter said tank, a nutlike member on said tank, a sleeve adapted to couple said air chamber with said nutlike member, a neck or branch pipe carrying a cock or spigot, and a nut-like member on said air chamber adapted to couple said neck with said oil discharge pipe, thenutlike member on the tank being adapted to firmly support the appurtenances of the device on said first name/d nut-like member,

and consequently on said tank, as will be hereinafter more fully described.

The1 invention is satisfactorily Aillustrated in the accompanying drawing, but the important instrumentalities thereof may be varied, and so it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific details shown and described', as long as they are within the spirit or scope of the claims.'

Figure 1 represents a partial side elevation` and partial vertical section of an oil transfer device embodying my invention.

Figure 2 represents a vertical section of a ortion thereof on an enlarged scale.

imilar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the gures.

Referring to the drawings.

1 designates a tank adapted to contain a supply of oil which is to be transferred elsewhere. 2 designates a hollow member Whose interior forms the air chamber 3 passing throu h which is the adjacent portion of the oil discharge pipe 4 which is of less diameter than that of the chamber 3 and has its main portion occupymg the tank 1, its lower end being open and above the bottom of said tank.

Screwed to the lower portion of said member 2 is the threaded sleeve 5 which is also screwed to the nut 6, the latter being adapted to be screwed to the wall of an opening Specicationof Letters Patent. Patented June 27, 1922, Application med April 1s, 1921.

subject the oil in the latter to the action of the air under pressure.

Screwed to the upper end'of the member 2 is the nut 9 which has the upper end of the pipe 4 screwed to it, said nut 9 having also screwed to it the' tubular neck or branch 10 whose interior is in communication with that of the pipe 4, said nut 9'thus serving to couple the neck 10 with the oil discharge pipe 4.

0n the outer terminal of the neck 10 is the discharge cock or faucet 11 it now being noticed that the nut 6 sustains on the tank 1 the sleeve 5, the member 2, the air conveying tube 8, the nut 9, the neck 10 and the cock l1` thus providing simple and inexpensive means for accomplishing the same.

The operation is as follows When -it is required to transfer or distribute the'oil from the tank to an automobile or other vehicle requiring' the same,V the cock 11 is opened when the air under pressure in the tank forces .the oil therein into the pipe 4 and from thence into the neck l0 and the cock 11 and so it may be directed from the latter wherever desired, this being accomplished in a convenient and rapid man'- ner and without leaking at the tank. f

When the cock is closed, the transferer distribution of theoil from the tank 1 ceases immediately.

Having thus described my invention what l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is c 1. In an oil transferring device of the character stated, a tank, an oil discharging pipe therein in communication therewith, a hollow member forming 'an air receiving chamber adapted to be in communication with a source of air under pressure, a discharge neck in communication with said pipe, a nut-like member engageable with said chamber and adapted to connect said neck with said hollow member and pipe, and a nut-like member connectible with the wall 7of said tank to support said chamber,

pipe. discharge neck, and appurtenances, and to connect them with said tank.

2. An oil transferring device of the character stated consisting of a tank, an oil discharging pipe'therein in communication therewith, an air receiving chamber adapted to be in communication with a source of air under pressure, a portion of said pipe being Within said chamber and exterior-1y of less diameter than the interior of the latter, a sleeve connectible with the ioiver end of said air chamber, a portion of said pipe being within said sleeve, the interior diameter of the latter being of greater diameter than that of the exterior of said portion, a tu- ALBERT D.
